Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday told the Lok Sabha that India’s crude oil supply remains secure despite the Iran-Israel-US conflict, even as opposition members raised slogans during his statement on LPG and fuel availability. Puri said the pressure being seen in some areas is not due to any production or supply failure, but because of a temporary demand distortion.
He informed the House that delivery authentication code coverage for LPG consumers is being expanded from 50% to 90%, under which a cylinder is marked delivered only after OTP confirmation by the consumer, reducing chances of diversion.
The minister said domestic LPG supply is fully protected and the booking-to-delivery cycle continues at around 2.5 days, with hospitals and educational institutions under uninterrupted priority supply. He added that demand-management steps include a minimum booking gap of 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural and durgam regions.
